i only just got this a few weeks ago but its fucking amazing!
i dont know why i never picked it up before, but there was always something else i wanted more.
but it sounds incredible, i love Brave Men Run, I Love Her All the TIme, Haloween, Flower...beautiful! And of course Death Valley 69

but the thing i love most is the sound of the album. it sounds so much better than EVOL and DDN to me. so much fuller.

love it

I don't know if I can agree with that EVOL statement.....'cause well...I think it's the best album ever...



But Badmoon is definitely awesome.....I love it 'cause it feels really raw...the sound that is.

One of my favourite albums actually.
So raw and punkish, pretty dark aswell.

Totally essential Sonic Youth...

This album was truly out t h e r e when it was originally released.

If I absolutely had to choose a favorite Sonic Y record, it would be A Thousand Leaves. However, thankfully I don't have to choose because Bad Moon would come in at a very, very close second place. I've gone through periods, sometimes lasting 2-3 weeks at a time, listening to nothing but Bad Moon. It's definitely amongst their darkest material...all that Charles Manson imagery and talk of geniuses and drugs and sex addicts and Indians running away from scary foreign settlers. Love it.

In my opinion it's way better than Evol (which I believe was there first stab at experimenting w/ "pop" concepts). Evol has a brilliant album cover (love Lung Leg), and a few songs, but it's never been one I go back to often. I just think they did far more interesting stuff in the 80's. I prefer BMR to Daydream as well. I love Daydream and believe it deserves all the credit it gets...but it was never one of my favorite albums either, which is odd because it does feature some of my favorite songs...but whenever listening to it I skip around from track to track a lot. W/ Bad Moon Rising (much like ATL) I just put the fucker in and press play and it's amazing from beginning to end. Like a big story. A bunch of songs that blend together so frickin' nicely.

Gorgeous record. Congrats on buying it.

It's not my favorite Youth record, it's my favorite record by anyone ever. Period.

So damned good I can't even put into words why I love it so much. Heaven knows I've tried.

I love very many albums that is a kind of crossline of some band, I mean thereīs something old and something new (best examples The Who Sell Out, Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother). BMR is also that kind of album. But I think in Bad Moon Rising SY havenīt achieved that full greatness, what is in EVOL and later albums. Of course itīs very great album, greater than many albums in the world. I ordered BMR, EVOL, Sonic Death and Dirty at the same time, if I remember correct it was summer 1993. And you can quess I listened EVOL quite a lot that summer!

I wish I could get into ATL as much as most people, but I just find it very boring. EVOL and BMR emanate their best atmosphere in my opinion. I remember first listening to EVOL on a rainy day... it was strangely one of the darkest days I could remember and it just clicked perfectly. I've been saying for years that their earlier records (especially the two I've mentioned) convey this nightmarish sort of mood that I'm drawn to more than anything else they've done... yet if I had to choose a favorite album I'd probably lean towards Daydream Nation, actually. Choosing a favorite with this band isn't quite necessary though as many of them suit various moods. I've got BMR on vinyl... one of my favorite albums that I own.

I don't wish I could get into ATL...I know what it is and I also find it very boring. IMO, NYCG&F is SY's weakest album and ATL is not that far behind.

On the other hand, BMR is a beast! It's not as fully realized as EVOL or Sister, but the shadow/mood it conveys is a dark one. Vintage SY for sure.

Thatīs one reason why I love vinyls so much! Itīs just so great end in BMR with Death Valley and also EVOL with Expressway. I prefer more listen Flower/Halloween from that single (very great single) and it doesnīt matter to me that I have Bubblegum only in c-cassette (i think itīs ok song, but very much mediocre comparing the material in EVOL). And Satan is Boring...well itīs also ok in the end of Death Valley-e.p. but I sure could live without that song.

YAY!!! Other people love ATL as much as I do it sounds like!!

But yes Bad Moon Rising is absolutely essential, and it sounds better today than ever!! I've been listening to this albums for fifteen years, and it's never grown old for me. Though i'll admit, I had it for a few years before I really started to notice its specific type of charm. It's just a blissful, turbulent, nighmare-vision quest odyssey and I love it.

I just don't think there's much on it that I can't get (to much better avail) with some of their other... more complete albums. I remember thinking that some of the tracks sounded as though they could've used more development. The vocals are unbearable on certain tracks too... which is something I rarely give a shit about. I don't know... I'll admit I have listened to it just about 5 times I'd guess... so maybe it'll grow on me the more I listen to it.

I got into them chronologically, for the most part, and I have to say BMR is still probably my favorite. There's nothing like it, really.
